Toward the end of April, Cat's former soccer coach reached out to us to ask if Cat could play with the team during the last few weeks of the season. His practice of keeping a small roster to allow for maximum playing time for each player had backfired when multiple players were out for the season due to injuries.
Cat acknowledged that she was busy with demanding classes and a commitment to train with the boys' team at school, but said she'd like to play when she was available. We signed her up, ordered a uniform, and Cat starting competing again within a few days. She wasn't able to attend practices but played in several games and scored almost as many goals.
Cat played with the team in the President's Cup at the end of the season, which was held at Lakeside - the first time we've watched games there in a few years! They played well and Cat scored a few times. They ended up 2nd out of the 3 teams in their bracket, which meant they all got some bling.
While there were many new players on the team, there were also several familiar faces. It was fun to connect with old friends - both players and parents!
